Arguably, `with-input-from-file' shouldn't restore the current input
port on exit unless it's replacing the one put there by
`with-input-from-file' on entry. But it currently behaves in a way
that's consistent with `parameterize' expressions in general, so I'm
inclined to leave it as-in.
In any case, the current behavior should be better documented.
